I don't know. As movies have grown and developed over the years some of the mystique is gone. I think the entire ideas of movies used to be so glamourous when they were first invented, then first had speaking then first had color. People also seemed to know less about movie stars since I don't think they were stalked as relentlessly by photographers. For example, Rock Hudson was a major sex symbol of his day but in reality he was gay and no one knew until years later.

Now, you can watch a movie any old time at home on TV or even right on your computer and it's become so much more commonplace to us now. That plus all the media exposure makes us think of celebrities as more normal people and less silver screen icons.

In terms of old fashioned glamourous movie stars we still have George Clooney, Gywneth Paltrow, Charlize Theron, those are just the impossible beautifull people I can think of off hand. In short, it's not the actors it's the whole industry.
